Updates
What has changed in Tourload, and when. Newest first.
- Improved
Auto load finishes the row it started
Two identical cases would be dropped into a new row rather than completing the half-built stacks already in front of them. Auto load now fills what is on the truck before it starts anything new, so the plan comes out the way somebody would actually build it.
- Fixed
A save that failed now says so
If a session expired while you were working, a save could fail with nothing on screen to tell you — the plan looked saved and was not. Failed saves are now reported, with what to do about it, and nothing on screen is lost when one happens.
- Fixed
Stacks you cannot aim at
It was possible to drop a third case onto a stack there was no way to physically reach. The drag now refuses it rather than drawing something nobody can build.
- Improved
Containers stop pretending to have axles
A shipping container has no axles, so the report no longer prints an axle section for one. It shows the two checks a container can actually fail instead.
- Improved
Printed plans, one trailer per tier
The load plan now prints a full-width trailer for each tier and leaves the tractor unit off. The drawing a crew works from is bigger and there is less on the page that is not cargo.
- New
Free to plan, paid to put your name on it
Planning, saving and printing are free, with no limit on how many packs you keep. The plan is paid for what surrounds it: your own logo on the paperwork instead of ours, and bringing other people onto a production.
- Fixed
One cart standing inside another
The angled view could draw two carts occupying the same space. It was the drawing that was wrong rather than the plan, but a picture you cannot trust is worse than no picture.
- Improved
A failed payment says what happened
When a renewal fails the account stops saving, which it always did — but now it says so, in a sentence naming the reason, rather than refusing quietly and looking broken.
- New
Vendor packs
A hire company can publish its real case sizes and weights as a pack, and you install it into your own library in one go. The cases are marked as published by the supplier rather than estimated by us, so a plan built on them says where the numbers came from.
- New
Stack height, per truck
Auto load stacks two high by default and lowers where the floor runs out. That is now a preference you set on each truck rather than a rule, and you can still stack higher by hand as far as the roof and the case ratings allow.
- New
Invite people to edit, or only to look
You choose when the invitation is sent. Somebody invited to view can open the plan and print it without being able to change what you built.
- Fixed
UK customers quoted in pounds, charged in pounds
A visitor in the UK was shown a price in pounds and charged in dollars. Both figures are now fixed in Stripe, so the number on the page is the number on the card.
- Improved
The starter library arrives sorted
A new account used to get its example cases as one long heap. They now arrive in folders, so the library makes sense before you have added anything of your own.
